Let's start by creating a patch. ``` (stderr) RAD_SOCKET=/dev/null $ git checkout -b feature/1 -q $ git commit --allow-empty -q -m "First change" $ git push rad HEAD:refs/patches ✓ Patch a1207f6e82700e42cc46c9c38c7786b18cbd2040 opened To rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji/z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi * [new reference] HEAD -> refs/patches ``` Then let's update the code and merge the updated code without updating the patch: ``` (stderr) RAD_SOCKET=/dev/null $ git commit --amend --allow-empty -q -m "Amended change" $ git checkout master -q $ git merge feature/1 -q $ git push rad master To rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji/z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi f2de534..954bcdb master -> master ``` As we can see, no patch is merged. Now if we go back to our patch and try to update it, we expect it to be updated and merged: ``` (stderr) RAD_SOCKET=/dev/null $ git checkout feature/1 -q $ git push -f ✓ Patch a1207f6 updated to [...] ✓ Patch a1207f6e82700e42cc46c9c38c7786b18cbd2040 merged To rad://z42hL2jL4XNk6K8oHQaSWfMgCL7ji/z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi + 20aa5dd...954bcdb feature/1 -> patches/a1207f6e82700e42cc46c9c38c7786b18cbd2040 (forced update) ```
